Project Runway: All Stars - Part 5

Challenge:  Clothes Off Your Back

Designers had to go find a muse in Central Park, convince them to give up their clothes on the spot, and then make a fashion forward look with the materials.  WHAT?!?!

Sebastian and I were not about to go to the dog park and ask for people's clothes off their backs here in Fresno.  Instead, I used an old shirt someone gave me a while back and a verrry old pair of jeans from my dad's closet.

I wanted to keep the original features of the shirt (the collar and buttons), so I was extra careful when I cut my pieces out.  You can do this with any old shirt if you place the pattern down right.  Think of all the possibilities!!!!

But this isn't a "fashion forward" look.  It's really just a smaller version of what it originally was.  Oh well...there is no one to disqualify us, HA!  

I threw in the bracelet using a strip of denim from the jeans and added some studs.

Definitely not our favorite challenge or look, but I do love the vibrant colors and crazy pattern in this shirt.

Cheers to upcycling old clothes!!!

Erika and Sebastian
